Welp. Just received mine and although visually it looks okay, I'm having issues with the jumping hour hand. At first it would jump 8-10 hours and then nothing. Almost as if you were winding the watch up. I'd adjust the crown to position 1, then to 3, back to 2 and it would then work again for another 8-10 hour jumps or so and then the same thing.

This is extremly annoying but what are you gonna do? May send it to my watchsmith to see if it's an easy fix (doubt it) but will likely return this thing. Sucks because it was going out for white gold plating as soon as I received it.

Update for anyone interested..

Short answer; I will never purchase from C+F again. Also considering switching away from using Toro as my TD. I sent the watch back to get a refund and was told once it finally arrived that c+f refused to give me my money back because some of the plastic was removed..?? Not all, just some. Mind you, I sent the video of the watch DOA to Toro the same day I received it. All links in place, etc. The only thing they said they would do is swap with a new movement. Weā€™re a month in of them having it and still nothing. I know this is an ā€œillegal businessā€ so Iā€™m not looking for customer service in the likes of a Nordstrom, but damnā€¦some accountability would be nice. Didnā€™t think it was worth opening a help ticket but Iā€™m definitely selling the watch as soon as (if) I receive it. Fyi Iā€™ve returned watches to toro after ALL plastic was removed and got my $ back, no issues. So this is clearly a ā€œpolicyā€ of c+f.

Wasn't your complaint about the movement?
I know it feels frustrating, but you should be happy that your issue was resolved and you'll be getting a new movement.

I've sent an item back to China and it got "lost in customs."

Correct it was about the movement. But that shouldnā€™t mean I canā€™t get a refund instead if Iā€™ve decided I no longer want to risk it w this new movement. Like I said, Iā€™ve done it before with no issue.

I agree with you. But at least you're getting something rather than being stuck with a dead movement or lost item. If you're uncomfortable with this new movement, which hasn't been around long enough to have proper long term reviews, you can always sell it. Good luck to you either way.

Have to update that I tried out the latest batch of the 3286 Pepsi by C+. The movement feels a lot more stable and the hour jumper is more firm and less finicky. I changed dates 60 times for good measure and took the risk upon myself in case something happened.

In my own experience, it seems like the movement has updated silently. I haven't done a complete teardown yet of the latest version, but feel wise, it is definitely different. The ratchets are very clean and not sandy, and the time change feels sturdy and solid, like on a gen. The cyclops AR also has a brown tint, as seen on the gen 126610LV I reviewed https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...te-torrential-bombardment-of-photos.10926906/. It also looks like they used AR underneath the crystal, and the time setting is as per the 32xx series. What a pleasure.

To note, the 126719BLRO watch I reviewed earlier was months old, and took over 2+ months to get to me after ordering due to delays in shipping. I believe it was at most a prototype.

I am massively optimistic about the future of 32xx clones. C+ in my opinion is one of the finest factories around, sans the needless reddit drama about them using an SH--which they were not-- because someone jumped the gun on movement recognition.

Based on my extensive testing with my current C+ 126710BLRO, I highly recommend you get one.

It was thanks to Ozguro (not a TD here, so take it as you will) that I was able to try this BLRO so quickly. Have had a wonderful experience with them.

Also have to say, the attention to little details with the latest movement update is great. For example, the movement tabs are accurate as per gen with reverse screws (tabless) instead of the usual ones with a clockwise screw and tab.
